Opis

The dog population in the Bahamas consists mainly of mongrels, called Potcakes, a term unique to the greater Bahamas archipelago. Potcakes provides the first systematic study of dog ownership in a Caribbean society by investigating the Bahamian perceptions of pet and responsible pet ownership in the context of both dog overpopulation concerns and how image dogs like Rottweilers and Pit Bulls have interacted with and altered the Potcake population.
